Sapragel
SapraGel (Glycerin, Aqua, Quillaja Saponaria Wood Extract, Saponaria Officinalis (Soapwort) Extract) is a 100% plant-derived, palm-free oil gelling system designed to transform liquid oils into smooth, cushiony gel textures—similar to what you’d expect from lanolin or petroleum jelly, but created strictly from natural, vegan ingredients.
These botanical extracts contain natural saponins that interact with oils to build a gel network, creating unique, stable textures that are difficult to achieve with oils alone.
